Developed within the last hundred years to resist musket balls, the khe! hurund is a hauberk of light chain mail with spilt leather strips woven between the links, worn over a leather arming coat. The coat covers the wearer's arms to the elbow, his legs to the knee, and includes a hood. Favored by many weren mercenaries and expatriates because it's an element of weren technology that stands up to human weapons, the khe! burund (the exclamation mark signifies that the first word is vocalized as a cough) has become an emblem of weren tradition in the face of overwhelming change.
